Changing campag veloce to shimano 105 on Bianci Nirone 7 c2c
I am thinking of changing campag veloce to shimano 105 on Bianci Nirone 7 c2c.
It is my wife's bike and she wants a 32 on the back. Are there any problems to this. Would the BB need shims and is it Italian thread etc?
Any advice would be helpful.
Cheers
Steve

shimano bottom brackets are available in Italian thread/size, if needed.
the present BB should have it's thread type listed on it.

I don't know what your present Veloce set up is but you might want to look at IRD Campagnolo compatible cassettes (10-Speed Elite Road Cassette (Campy-Compatible) ? Interloc Racing Design / IRD before you switch everything over to Shimano. They make a couple of cassettes that have 32T as biggest cog. I'm using one on my Veloce set up (46/34 front; med derailleur cage, 12-32 back and it works perfectly. There are a lot of posts out there of people expanding their Campagnolo gearing on the low end. Do a few searches to see if this might work in your case.

To install any Shimano groupset you will need to get either a replacement freehub body for your current rear hub (may not exist or be difficult to source) or a new rear wheel. You can relatively easily learn if the BB is Italian or BSA by measuring over the bottom bracket shell: 70mm for Italian, 68 for BSA. I suspect BSA on that model/vintage of bike.
I'd probably try the IRD option. Another option to consider would be to fit a 48/32 crankset with the Campy 12-29 cassette. Praxis Works makes some good cranks with these things, and also FSA offers some options labeled as "Adventure" cranks. Either could work on your frame.

I suspect the threading is a standard BSA (English). Bianchi has moved to basically standard BSA on most of their more recent bikes. My 2013 Infinito is BSA, for example. Pinarello is basically the only company using Italian threading.

I am surprised that no-one has suggested the stake and bonfire option for this change

You are probably campy snobs but it has been the biggest pile of crap compared to shimano on my bikes. The bikes do a lot of miles, this year around 4000 and around 250,000 ft of climbing and apart from putting a new chain on my bike has hardly missed a beat. She has done slightly more than me but is on the second right hand shifter this year and in 5 years having the bike 4 sets of shifters. The bike has had 4 bottom brackets go also so thats why she wants to change. It would be cheaper to put the bike on the fire.
